[@BrandonDrummond]

It's now 12:20am and I have just finished this video. I hope to see you in the "Skater of the year recap stream" tomorrow. Should I stream it on KZbin or Twitch? Also, today the last day to get 30% off an annual membership on my Patreon with code "2024" Consider supporting 🙏 www.patreon.com/BrandonDrummond

I would imagine with 30% tariff threats in the US, companies want to import a bunch of skates now to keep prices down, which is why we're getting a lot of new skate drops now.

[@thestutteringskater]

Agreed 100% about the Austin + Robbie video. Blading needs more of that

[@jonlee5813]

Hey Brandon. Many thanks for the award, and compliments, for PUD :) Keep on doing your thing man! Roll on 2025 🎉❤

[@BrandonDrummond]

Cheers man! I look forward to the next project 🙏

[@HappyTooth614]

I literally can’t say thank you enough for the mention and award Brandon. I was just watching and didn’t expect that so it was a really emotional moment for me to hear such amazing compliments out of nowhere. When I started skating I wasn’t very good and all my friends were always so much better than me. I was the biggest grom in the world and I felt like I could never be as good as some of the people I started around, so to go from that to getting any kind of praise is surreal in the best ways possible. I’ve definitely learned a lot this year but the main thing I learned is that you don’t have to be amazing at skating to do something amazing in skating you just have to be stubborn and really love what you’re doing. Thanks so much for the support man I can’t say it enough! 😁🙌❤️

"you don’t have to be amazing at skating to do something amazing in skating" real

[@TomMoyse]

Cheers Brandon really appreciate that dude! I can’t take too much credit, it was the community who believed in the idea and got it to where it is. Thanks for being a pillar of the blade community and bringing so much value.

[@Noah-es7tw]

Thanks for the rainbow message, loved it. Rollerblading needs more of this

[@eigengrau1]

[@zekwilt]

Fully agreed with Happy Tooth as breakout blader of the year!! Dude killed it with uniqueness all year long 🔥

[@JasonG123]

commenting for the algo cuz rollerblading vids need more love. Thanks for all you do happy new year, here's to no injuries and nothing but laced tricks in 2025

[@andrewedgerton]

Have a blessed and b-laced holiday season Brandon!!! Shout outs to all the blade family who watches too. Hope to see more of you in 2025! Cheers! Æ

[@c6moneypit8]

Love your content and your merch!!! Thanks for all you do and keep it up! Hopefully your injuries heal up for 2025! (I’ve suffered through sore knees, wrist surgery, and a broken thumb 😮) I feel your pain and here’s to 2025 being an awesome year for blading 🎉

[@inlineonline]

hey thats me!!!

[@chalkknees1754]

Thanks for all you do. Have a great Christmas and all the best for next year!

[@MichaelMarcos]

Thanks for all you do. Always looking forward to seeing a video drop on your channel!

[@johniscariot5582]

Cheers, Brandon - Mally was thoroughly embarassed :) [You deserve kudos for that small act alone]. But, yep, he pretty much teaches himself... and, unless the coming vert champs get some support from the inline community, it wouldn't be a surprise if Ivy makes it solely a quad comp - and that will be that... so we appreciate the ongoing support.

[@ShredCitySkatesKelvW]

Awesome end of year run down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you're a legend brother, hopefully catch up soon 🙏🏽

[@BrandonDrummond]

Cheers man. Yes I may actually be able to skate now!

[@andrewblanton5397]

Thanks for making real skate content, keep it up!

[@justinfreitas4871]

I love your show. Thanks for everything! Merry Christmas!

[@james-ted-garland]

Great round up of the year! Merry Christmas Brandon 🎄🎅

[@StubbsOTD]

Witzemann is my boy and I loved skating his pro skate, but the Pitts Fantasy 72 is an absolute 90s banger. Did a midnight roll around the neighborhood in them and my LACED CORDS. Protip give Brandon your money bc the quality is always dope!

[@FullBongo]

So that soulplate that is pink on the plastic factions is their new soulplate that has the backslide groove of the normal soulplate with the design of the stealth souls. Have heard about those coming for a bit. Not sure if pink is their plan to ship with, but that is def the new souls that will come on the skate or at least be released by faction soon.

[@jokeyxero]

The twins are killing it. We should be talking about them more.

[@eddye.8123]

Great content Brandon, keep it up! And I totally agree with the whole Soty thing… that’s some wood pusher lingo. We could come up with something better than that.

[@Rollerbalder]

That plastic Faction isn't a pro skate for Viktoria, just 3D-printed souls and Hexi walls.

[@OpenRecords]

I absolutely love Michael Witzemann, he is one of the skaters for me. I’m excited for his future as well, but I don’t think he was really left out of the conversation in any way, shape or form. Quite the opposite, I think he’s been leading with his front foot forward and even had a pro skate.

[@miloszupb]

Up to me, 2024 best looking skates are: FR Diako Diaby, PS Robbie Pitts and Chichiro Thems - equally 'cause they came from different styles.

[@BrandonDrummond]

The Diaby's were so dope! Completely slipped my mind.

[@Noah-es7tw]

🔥🔥🔥

[@rampageriseden]

Love Tais but Razors has some crazy good guys that still don’t got a boot. Weird.

[@JasonG123]

yeah its about representation but even then kinda weird that the skate isnt available in normal sizes

[@OpenRecords]

@@JasonG123you mean kinda like women have felt like for ages that they don’t get skates in their size? Funny when the shoe is on the other foot 😅

[@VINICIUSOCRUZ]

Tais Colares is the best Street skater 2024!!

[@jokeyxero]

fourst4r = four star = Cody Forrester = bad ass skater

[@jokeyxero]

Have to disagree on Razors redemption. Their issue has been how they treat their team. We haven't seen any change in that yet, just new ways to get money without actually innovating on their products.

[@RusPitman]

Those factions look pretty nice actually. The carbons have to be one of the ugliest skates out there IMO but these seem pretty good at a glance.

[@kumbackquatsta]

speak more maori

[@kayvahn2141]

the plastic factions with pink souls/frames look amazing, i hope they do ship an option like that

[@Anigganamedwhite]

@brandondrummond hey bro great video wanting to give you a boost to the youtube gods and ask everyone who watch this to shoot you a like on this video merry christmas
